The Farewell Drifters / Robby Hecht

Live show at Eddie's Attic featuring The Farewell Drifters and Robby Hecht!!!

There's something special about THE FAREWELL DRIFTERS, a quintet composed of two acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle & upright bass. The Farewell Drifters have managed to project a sound that, according to their bio, "casually, but clearly" defies any preconceived notion based on their line up. Their shimmering harmonies are delicately placed over catchy melodies, and delivered with charmingly honest, yet pure vocals. Though their instrumentation might initially cause one to categorize their sound, The Farewell Drifters have managed to engage audiences from all walks of sound. From traditional music fans to rock lovers, this band has an energy strong enough to transcend genre lines. "Yellow Tag Mondays," is the Farewell Drifters' second full length album, but their national debut which rose to "No. 10" on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts. Created over a span of two years, the Farewell Drifters drew influence from musical greats like Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, Brian Wilson, and more to create a classically soulful and innovative sound. "Yellow Tag Mondays" marks a step in the right direction for the Farewell Drifters. With a future that promises nothing short of success, it's safe to say this quintet won't be saying farewell any time soon!

Dave Matthews Band's Jeff Coffin defines ROBBY HECHT as a musician with, "a beautiful, soulful voice." As noted in his bio, Robby's music touches the 1970s acoustic pop sounds with timeless melodies. Nashville Scene describes his music as, "fine textures, fetching melodies and sifted-smooth lyrics." With the help of his producer, Lex Price (Mindy Smith) and engineer, Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Josh Rouse), he recently released his debut album, "Late Last Night." Throughout his successful music career Robby has collaborated with an amazing line up of singer-songwriters like Mindy Smith, Richie Havens, Greg Brown, Patty Griffin, Jeff Coffin, Thad Cockrell, Jill Andrews (of The Everybodyfields), John Deaderick, and Andrea Zonn. No one is stopping Robby Hecht from reaching the top! Robby was the winner of the 2007 Wildflower Music & Arts Festival Songwriter Competition. In 2008, he won the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk Competition and in 2010, won the Telluride Troubadour Competition. Fans of James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Amos Lee will enjoy Robby Hecht's music!
